Jack Billings has signed a new two-year deal that ties him to St Kilda until the end of the 2021 AFL season.

Billings' form has divided opinion at times after the club selected him with the No. 3 pick at the 2013 draft, but he has enjoyed a career-best season, averaging 26 possessions a game.

The 23-year-old made his AFL debut in round one, 2014, against Melbourne and will play his 98th game for the club this weekend against Brisbane at Marvel Stadium.
